The Oceanside Community Foundation (OCF), a regional affiliate of the San Diego Foundation, announces it is accepting applications for its 2025-26 grant cycle. OCF seeks grant applications for projects preparing young people, ages 16 to 25, for independence by developing basic life and employment skills. Grants between $10,000 and $25,000 will be awarded.
To be eligible, grants must be administered by a 501(c)(3) public charity or an organization that is fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3), a school, or other government agency. OCF does not make grants to supporting organizations or private, non-operating foundations. If an organization is using a fiscal sponsor, a cooperative relationship between the two must be clearly demonstrated.
Grants will be evaluated against the following bullet points (at a minimum):
Have a beneficial, positive impact to Oceanside
Have ongoing verifiable, measurable and scalable outcomes, and
Maximize the impact of the grant dollars
